Too many starts, no finishes? Mercury’s messing with you.

There’s a familiar restlessness in your work life. Projects start with promise but often stall. This is where Mercury’s energy comes into play. It governs your thoughts, words, and focus. When its influence is strong in your career, things can feel scattered. Ideas come easily but don’t always find their way to completion.

Mercury’s sign shows your restlessness. If it’s in Gemini, focus drifts. Your mind wanders, hard to concentrate. Pisces does the same, pulling you away. In Virgo, perfectionism takes over. The finish line is close, yet far. It feels unreachable, just out of reach. Sagittarius craves the start, not the middle. New projects excite, but then drag. The energy fades, enthusiasm wanes quickly.

Where Mercury sits in your chart also deepens the story. If it’s in the 3rd house, your mind is constantly active. Ideas come and go, but commitment to follow through may slip. In the 6th house, daily tasks pile up, leaving a mountain of half-finished projects. The busy energy is there, but the ability to focus on one thing at a time fades.

Mercury’s relationship with other planets intensifies the situation. Impulsive Mars sparks ideas, but soon burns them out. Neptune’s hazy influence blurs the path to a clear end. Saturn’s strict need for novelty makes it hard to stick to anything long enough. Even Jupiter’s optimism can lead to overextending yourself, causing a fear of failure that paralyzes you.

In the end, there’s a quiet ache. You long for the satisfaction of completion, but the process feels elusive. The start is exciting, but the finish… remains a distant dream.
